The ruling on interpreting the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) as power and ability
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who is it that affirms that Allah has a hand but interprets this hadith?
Answer:
The innovators interpret it as grace and power, and this is an error, contrary to the statement of the people of the Sunnah and the community.
Power is one attribute, ability is another attribute, and the hand is a specific attribute. The hand, the foot, the eye, and the hearing; all of these are specific, independent attributes, distinct from power and ability.
